The recent shift in soil tillage from conventional to no-tillage systems in Brazil alters the soil system dynamics. In soils cultivated under the no-tillage system the relations are established and preserved over the course of time, which increases the functional complexity of the system, while under the conventional system often destroys these relationships. Some questions have risen about the reliability of sampling the so-called “arable soil layer” (0-20 cm) for soil acidity quantification in the no-tillage system due to the […]
